The only thing I dislike of heliboard is their swipe function requires Google binaries. Most FOSS keyboards either lack some feature I use or are immersed in wild controversies.
Same, I switched over yesterday and I found it actually does all the things I was hoping for!
Reducing keyboard size, removing suggestions bar, adjusting timing on holding for symbols or numbers, emoji key, theming, and swipe typing can be enabled (its just a file that they cannot or have chosen not to install with the app, as the rest is open source as far as I understood).
Well, ThumbKey adapts to the limitations of a phone screen, that’s why it’s unique. So, once you are familiar with it, you’re less likely to fumble the wrong key. It takes quite some time though, at least it did for me.
Failed for thee perhaps, but mein hands are smol, vocab’s colloquial, n’ passwords often complex… Autocorrect is the first feature that must die when I adopt devices.
Why does every mobile keyboard developer have some controversial shit? I just want to text in peace.
Anything on HeliBoard too?

And the implementation is nowhere as good as gboard.
Futo’s keyboard isn’t much better for slide to type. I find myself switching keyboards back to gboard when I’m not using voice to text or two thumbs.
I mean, I can’t complain about HeliBoard’s swiping feature, especially considering the alternatives.

Does FlorisBoard have controversial shit too?
No, but they are forever beta. They still lack a ton of features I use.
True
fossify keyboard? extremely basic, but works
May I recommend Thumbkey its awesome and a bit different from other keyboards. Its concept is interesting ✨
It looks neat but what an absolutely stupid take from a keyboard author
Butch if I didn’t let it correct me I’d have to actually mook st the keyboard and who the fuck wants to do thatm.
Phones are tiny and humans are clumsy. I absolutely never mean what I type, as you can see above.

I understand what they were trying to go for, but they failed…not least because they explain that below the fold.
